Terrace Inn and Suites

Trænger til renovering

Clean basic motel. Parking is spacious. Bring your own shampoo and napkins.

We chose this motel because it showed as closest to UCB across booking sites within a certain price range, expecting ~15 min travel. Actual commute was 25 min. Location still decent—near restaurants, fast food, and Costco. Breakfast not included. Arrived after 11 PM, couldn't get a downstairs room. Front desk was friendly though, advising us to store valuables inside the room (car break-ins mentioned). Room felt crowded. Beds were comfortable but full-size, not queens as listed. AC worked great. Mini-fridge and microwave functioned okay, but no proper cups for hot water—they only gave paper cups to microwave (not ideal). Wi‑Fi was spotty: connected sometimes, failed entirely other times. Not reliable for work. Overall: extremely basic motel at a reasonable price in a busy location. Beds comfy, AC good, staff nice. But if you value reliability and comfort, look elsewhere. Works for short budget stays near UCB, but I'd upgrade for longer visits.

Nice place to stay

Don't stay here! Sure it is a super cheap motel so we expected a low quality room and it was. But it is close to where we needed to be and it was a last minute booking. We flew from the East coast and knew we'd arrive very late, after midnight. So I called first and told them this. The friendly day manager Jose took my info and made a note and said it wouldn't be a problem because they have a desk manager all night. When we arrived, exhausted at 1 a.m., at first there was no one there. After ringing the bell many times a man came to the window. I'm pretty sure we woke him and he was annoyed. He wouldn't check us in! He kept saying we were late and I should read the rules on the website. He ignored my statement that we had called about the late arrival and he denied there was any note. He didn't apologize or express sympathy. He just said "I'm not going to repeat myself again", and turned away. We had to find another hotel at 1:30 a.m.! Worst motel manager ever. He should be fired.
